You have the FR response plots for the lotus? I'd assume they can run up higher than 3.5k and would imagine they sound sweet, if so you could get a tweet with a more extended top end in a pretty small format. I'd guess the Extremis might do 55Hz and probably roll off pretty naturally. Top end start at 300Hz and work your way down.

It is supposed to be that way.

never guess whats coming

How many are you running? Powered by? Would love to hear 'em

Don't think he asked for an SQ sub, but if you are making a point it is a good one and I agree. And RN, if you go out and get a 3000w rms sub and use your 500w amp it won't move it very good at all (read low SPL may have good SQ which is driver and INSTALL dependent). Matching the sub and amp together will help maximize your experience. From your posts too it sounds like you are just looking for more boom. The first question to improve your substage I would ask is about your box. If it is some off the shelf 5/8" buffalo board box no matter what sub you have is going to sound like my butt after a week in Mexico. If you want to improve it and that includes drivers, let us know what you like/don't like what you want/don't want in the sound versus what you have now. Also a better description of your components and install would be helpful. There is no "magic" driver that sounds good in everyones car or to everyones taste. Lots of educated members here that could help drill down a good solution for you though. edit: Doh! Just reread the post title: SQL! Comments from Eldo still stand though. Beware the definition of SQL. Most people throw it around like a solution to a problem. Good subs sound good and get loud, and loud subs can sound good.

Chit names > me. Aberdeen isn't where Blaine is but had to ask, I am going to fly out for his wedding here in a couple weeks though.

Have to have an engine that is made close to home, crazy in that Chitown plant. My only issue with those Navistars is how loud they are, at idle the cab noise is pretty terrible but does lay down a bit up on the highway. Needs lots of deadening. Wikced truck though.

Ooops, different kind. Can't wait to hear more about the build up!

I've got a megasquirt.

Aaron, Which facility do you work at? One of my college buddies might work near you. The layman description of what he does is satellite programming...he is Blaine Nelson. Just thought this world might be small. Steve, Any of the machines you are looking at won't feel slow. They all can do what it sounds like you are trying to do. Enjoy! Plus, Justin's advice = teh good.

Or use a square to clamp another straight board along the edge. I have an 8' piece of mdf that I keep just as a big arse straight edge. Works great, I ripped $250 worth of Maple with it for a mantel last night. Nice work anyway...

Well my dumass can't seem to find the check box to allow the admin to send me email. Denim of course you can...

Thin plywood, expansion foam, plexiglass and so on. If you aren't putting them in an enclosure that is sealed or ported you should do your best to make them an infinite baffle install. The better the sealing off of the back half of the door from the inside the better it will sound. It won't hurt the road noise either! After sealing it all up using sound deadener will then bring them to life.....making them truly IB and deadening will do a LOT more than upgrading your amp to solve your "flatness' problem. If you want to see an example of doing it right, here is a good write up: http://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=27

Heck ya for ear sex!

:gheychase:

Thumbnail still no worky

Hey, I know the feeling.

Nice tape work, custom grills are teh sweetness!

Might I add that I have a near all time hangover going today

Just as long as it isn't babychit green. Then you know you were drinking too much Grain Belt Premium, that stuff is terrible but gives everyone the baby chits.

More memory is sort of better, but faster memory is WAY better. If you don't use any applications that use more than 512mb then your cpu will run a little bit faster with only one stick of ram....unless it is a cpu that is meant to have a matched pair of ramsticks. It is one of those things that if you are going to do a gig you should buy the whole gig all at once and not upgrade a 512 pc to a gig. Making sure the RAM is identical helps.

Not trying to sway into something you don't want, but it is amazing how much nicer a docking station and monitor is than any laptop monitor. How about saving some money and doing something like this: http://www.compusa.com/products/product_in...3382&pfp=BROWSE

Glad your okay, other people are definitely scary when riding on a bike. I stopped riding mine towards town and now just ride West.
